Summary

This is the first book devoted to the question of what it is to be an intellectually dependable person. By directing attention to the ideal of intellectual dependability, the book marks a novel turn of scholarly interest toward a neglected dimension of the ideal inquirer that will inform epistemological theorizing and educational practice.
